Bustle Skirt

I came across this skirt a few days ago, and just HAD to make one for my girls. I managed to get one finished last night, and my youngest daughter couldn't wait to get it on. How cute is that?!

Find the tutorial for the Bustle Skirt HERE, by Elizabeth Evans at Simple Simon & Co.

I made a trip to the fabric store, on the hunt for the perfect fabric, and found this dusty pink polyester/spandex blend. I don't know a lot about fabrics, but this one had a nice weight to it and looked like it wouldn't fray too much.

I bought 4 yards of fabric and had enough for two skirts - one being a size 4 skirt and the other a size 7/8 skirt.

The only change I made to the directions, was that I did not flip my top row of circle petals upside-down. I was worried that they would not flop down nicely considering the fabric. Other than that, I followed all instructions.

You can see, Tatum loves the result! Thanks for a great Tutorial Elizabeth!

I love that skirt! That is adorable!! I almost would like to make one for myself a vintagey type material would be cool. I'm following you now! I was looking at a few other posts of yours, very cute stuff! and the cupcakes, how cute!

So cute!! This is such a great idea! Thanks for becoming a follower. I love quillows too, because they are so quick and easy to make! They really work well with cotton, flannel, stretch fabric, you name it. I've used light batting before and it seems to work just fine. I'd love to see yours when you finish!!

this is amazing!! I LOVE how this looks!! Thank you so much for linking up to Handmade Tuesdays @ Ladybug Blessings. www.ladybug-blessings.com (p.s. did you enter my giveaway for handstamped jewelry? It ends the 4th :)
